For years, Andrew W.K. – musician, motivational speaker, podcaster, and all-around fun guy has encouraged everybody to do one thing, and one thing only: “party”.

Fed up with the two-party system that has made the United States the divided, argumentative nation it’s become in recent years, the cultural icon known for his 2001 single Party Hard has laid the groundwork for his OWN political party.

As a refresher, here’s Party Hard:

This isn’t an April Fool’s Day prank, as this news trickled out earlier in the week…rather, W.K. has created the Party Party.

Yes, that’s right, THE PARTY PARTY – complete with its own succinct mission statement:

“Buried deep inside this mountain of overwhelming national anxieties, complex international dilemmas, and endlessly competing principals, there is a fundamental truth – that we are all in this together. Many of us fail to realize that at our very core, we ultimately do share many of the same essential values. These values are what make us Americans and also make us human beings. And if we can celebrate these shared qualities first, and look to find the best in ourselves and each other, perhaps we’ll find the path ahead to be slightly less treacherous. The world isn’t being destroyed by ‘Red or Blue’, ‘Left or Right’, ‘Us or Them’ – it’s being destroyed by one side believing the other side is destroying the world. Perhaps right now we just need a little less politics and a lot more party.”

Here’s an informational video put out by the Party Party:

The Party Party has already garnered enough votes via online petition to qualify as a real political party.
